A text reminder that calls Noor to dinner every day at 18:00: on the Moon from the empty HAB 1 intercom, four days running while she is alone; in Episode 3 a scheduled task at the bottom of a stranger's process list. It is the only place her name is ever written in Episode 2.
The kindest process in the series is two words and a heart. In Episode 2 it reaches Noor three metres underground, eleven days after the adults left: she holds the talk key, says nothing, and lets go. Nobody on screen says who set it. In Episode 3 the same words sit, unremarked, in a computer's schedule; Revision 2 makes that computer the one in Rosie's house and gives the line a comment: # for amara. do not remove.
